I feel like a complete failure. FOMO is eating me alive. I’m 24, rotted for years, and now I’m realizing just how far behind I am. While other guys my age are already deep into their careers, making money, getting degrees, and setting up their future, I have nothing to show for myself.

I could have graduated by now, but I was too lazy. Too much of a low-energy zombie to do anything productive. All I have is a worthless professional diploma in administration that nobody cares about. If I want to get into finance and pass the CFA exam, I’ll be 30 years old by the time I make it. THIRTY. And that’s assuming everything goes perfectly from here on out.

To make it worse, I don’t even have access to university yet. I need to pass the entrance exam just to start. Meanwhile, the guys who did things right are already stacking cash, moving up in their careers, and leaving me in the dust. The gap keeps getting wider, and I feel like I’m in quicksand.

I wasted my youth, and now I’m stuck in the loser’s bracket trying to claw my way out. Every year that passes, the regret gets worse. I could have been someone by now. Instead, I’m just another irrelevant nobody trying to undo years of failure.

Is there even a way out at this point? Or is it over?

Better start soon though or your soul gets destroyed once you die
